X-Men Teams - “Love Triangle” 3-pack
Marvel Legends - Hasbro
There have been so many Marvel Legends X-Men figures as of late, that its hard to document them all, blog to blog. So, I’m throwing up a couple of team pictures to include an updated Colossus, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Beast, Gambit, Iceman, Storm, and Professor X.
The Professor was a deluxe figure because of the massive chair. (Poor taste to include him in the “Legendary Riders” theme that ML had going with the deluxes...at least there’s no mention of that on the box or promo materials.) He comes with a Cerebro helmet, and a rather gross looking telepathy effect. The arm panels on the chair slide open to revel some fun gadgetry, and Charles has a plastic, half blanket to keep his legs warm.
Colossus and Iceman complete a Nintendo game roster. The game sucked (Oh, LJN!), but you can’t complain much about this group. Still need a classic Storm to complete the X-Men Arcade team. C’mon, how do you make “Legend of Billie Jean” Dazzler before that one?!
I’ve also got a complete 1992 X-Men animated series line-up. And thanks to the extra, pony-tail head for Jean, the look is pretty accurate. Jean also completes the gate-fold Jim Lee relaunch comic cover...which others have already recreated and I am too lazy to do. I’m not futzing with Beast all day to get him into a proper crouched action pose.
Jean is from a “Love Triangle” 3-pack that features a bomber jacket Cyclops and a truer blue and yellow animated look for Wolverine.
If getting Jean wasn’t enough, the set comes with two unmasked heads for Scott, an unmasked Logan, a battle-damaged Wolvie, and bone claws! No malleable adamantium tendrils to help your Magneto figure to recreate “that” scene, though.
